Olivia Attwood, the former Love Island star, made a striking appearance at the Broadcast Awards in London on Wednesday evening, choosing a daring ensemble that saw her flash a lacy mesh bra beneath an unbuttoned white shirt. The 34-year-old television personality, who recently confirmed her separation from husband Bradley Dack, led a host of celebrities at the prestigious event held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House.
A Night of Glamour and Style
Attwood's outfit combined a chic black suit with the revealing shirt, accessorised with a mini suede handbag. Notably absent was her wedding ring, a detail that has been consistent in public sightings since the split, while Dack has reportedly continued to wear his. The event served as a distraction for the newly-single star, who has been open about her emotional struggles, including crying herself to sleep, following the breakdown of her marriage.
Star-Studded Attendees
Joining Attwood were several high-profile figures from the broadcasting world. Davina McCall, the former Big Brother host, looked radiant in a glitzy silver one-shoulder gown, strolling arm-in-arm with her husband, Michael Douglas. She complemented the figure-hugging dress with a substantial white fur coat and strappy silver sandals. A tender moment captured the couple as Davina wrapped her arm around Michael's neck while departing the venue.
Helen Skelton, the former Blue Peter presenter, opted for a strapless black gown adorned with pale pink ruffles at the bodice and a matching mesh skirt, adding a touch of elegance to the evening.
Fashion Highlights from the Red Carpet
The awards ceremony showcased a variety of stylish outfits from other celebrities:
- Kirsty-Leigh Porter, the Hollyoaks actress, turned heads in a vibrant blue patterned dress with a high neck, paired with lilac metallic block heels and a black leather clutch.
- Isabelle Smith, another Hollyoaks star, wore a black square-neck mini-dress combined with mesh tights and stilettos.
- Fern Britton displayed her recent weight loss in a black glitzy boat neck gown, accessorised with suede stilettos and a satin bow clutch.
- Elinor Lawless, from Casualty, chose a black mesh off-the-shoulder figure-hugging gown for the occasion.
Other notable attendees included Doctors star Charlie Clemmow in a chic black satin-trimmed blazer dress, Irish actress Victoria Smurfit in a skintight ruched dark green dress with a high-leg split, and BAFTA TV Award winner Lennie James in a grey glen check coat. Scottish broadcaster Nicky Hamilton added a touch of tradition with tartan trousers and a waistcoat, while comedian Rosie Jones kept warm with a large padded jacket.
Moving Forward After the Split
In the wake of her marital breakdown, Attwood has shared motivational posts with her followers, including one that read: 'If you're worried about the cost of going for it you should see the price of staying exactly where you are.' Reports suggest the split occurred after Dack, a footballer, 'crossed a line' and 'breached her trust'.
Addressing her feelings on social media, Attwood expressed: 'I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time.' She added, 'I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time.' The star has acknowledged the support from fans, stating she feels their love 'immensely' as she navigates this challenging period.
The Broadcast Awards provided a glamorous backdrop for Attwood and her peers to celebrate achievements in the industry, blending high fashion with personal narratives of resilience and change.
